Pilot gas valve BASO Gas Products H15FA-1

The BASO Gas Products - H15FA-1 is a 1" NPT automatic shut-off pilot gas valve. It is designed to be used with natural and LP gas up to 0.5 psi and features a 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap over inlet, no pressure tap, and an internal pilot gas flow without rotor "B" valve.It is a typical replacement component for a number of gas-powered equipment, such as water heaters, boilers, and furnaces.It features an internal pilot gas flow without a rotor "B" valve and a 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap over the inlet.

Key Features:

Function:

• Safe lighting: It prevents unintentional gas leakage to the main burner prior to ignition by limiting gas flow to the pilot burner only during lighting.
• Complete shut-off: In case the pilot flame extinguishes, the valve automatically shuts off gas flow to both the pilot and main burner, preventing gas leaks and potential hazards.
• Reliable operation: Proven design and robust construction ensure reliable performance and long lifespan.
• Compact design: Owing to its small size, it can be used in areas with restricted space.

Specifications:

• Valve size: National Pipe Thread, or 1" NPT, is the standard.
• Gas type: Compatible with natural gas and LP (liquid propane) gas.
• Pressure rating: Up to 0.5 psi (35mbar).
• Material: Durable construction with high-quality stainless steel or cast iron components.
• Features:
  • Internal pilot gas flow (no rotor "B" valve): Eliminates the need for an additional external valve, simplifying installation.
  • Large reset button: Simplifies manual reset after a flame outage.
  • Broad application range: Ideal for industrial ovens, dishwashing machines, degreasing equipment, central heating systems, room heaters, wall heaters, unit heaters, and crop dryers.

Benefits:

• Enhances safety: Prevents gas leaks and potential explosions by automatically shutting off gas flow in case of pilot flame failure.
• Protects equipment: Guards against damage caused by unignited gas buildup.
• Improves efficiency: Safe lighting eliminates wasted gas by ensuring gas flow only during pilot and main burner ignition.
• Provides peace of mind: Offers reliable operation and safety for your gas-fired appliances.

Important notes:

• Installing or replacing a gas valve requires specialized knowledge and skills. Always consult a qualified gas fitter or technician for safe and proper installation.
• Never attempt to bypass or tamper with a gas valve. Doing so can compromise safety and lead to serious risks.
• Double-check compatibility with your specific appliance and gas system before purchasing.

Additional information:

• Some models of the H15FA-1 might offer additional features like different valve sizes, pressure ratings, or compatibility with specific burner configurations. Check the product details carefully for specific features and compatibility.
• BASO Gas Products offers a variety of automatic shut-off pilot gas valves in their H15 series. To select the right model, take into account your needs and the specifications of your appliances.

Signs of a Faulty BASO Gas Products H15FA-1 pilot gas valve:

A faulty BASO Gas Products - H15FA-1 automatic shut-off pilot gas valve can manifest in several ways, impacting performance and potentially posing safety risks.  

Safety Concerns:

• Gas odor: This is a serious indicator of a potential leak. If you smell gas near your appliance, immediately turn it off and evacuate the area. Open windows and doors to ventilate, then contact a qualified gas technician without delay.
• Appliance not igniting: If the appliance doesn't ignite or struggles to stay lit, it could be due to the valve failing to open properly and allow gas flow to the pilot burner.

Performance Issues:

• Incomplete combustion: If the appliance burns with excessive yellow flames or soot, it might indicate insufficient gas reaching the main burner due to a valve malfunction.
• Frequent cycling: The appliance might turn on and off repeatedly. This could be due to the valve failing to sense the pilot flame correctly and shutting off gas flow unnecessarily.
• Pilot flame instability: Observe the pilot flame. If it appears weak, flickers excessively, or extinguishes frequently, it could be related to the valve's ability to regulate gas flow to the pilot burner.

Other:

• Increased energy consumption: Frequent cycling or incomplete combustion can lead to higher gas usage and energy bills.
• Error codes: Some appliances might display error codes related to pilot flame or gas valve issues. Consult the appliance manual for specific code meanings and troubleshooting steps.

Remember:

• Safety is paramount. If you suspect any gas leaks or performance issues related to the automatic shut-off pilot gas valve, immediately stop using the appliance and contact a qualified gas technician. Do not attempt to diagnose or repair the valve yourself.
• Regular maintenance: Periodic inspections and servicing by a qualified professional can help prevent issues with the valve and ensure the safe operation of your gas-fired appliance.
